Indore Police Arrest Two Men in Separate NDPS Cases

The Story in Brief

Indore Crime Branch arrested Shahid Mansoori, accused of supplying MD drugs, after he allegedly evaded arrest in a case involving 11.4 grams of MD worth about Rs 1.10 lakh. Police had earlier arrested Alfaz Khan in the case and are questioning Mansoori about suppliers, buyers and others involved. In a separate case, Hira Nagar police arrested Aniket Barbele after allegedly recovering 10.28 grams of brown sugar worth Rs 1.30 lakh. Both cases were registered under the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances Act.

The Free Press Journal reports that Indore Crime Branch registered 54 NDPS cases and arrested 116 accused from January 1, 2026. Police said they seized drugs, weapons, vehicles and other property valued at about Rs 2.96 crore during these operations. Further arrests may follow in the MD case.

The Indian Opinion

Drug seizures and arrest counts can create an impression that the narcotics problem is being contained, while police claims about wider networks remain untested. The opposite claim, that every accused arrest proves an organised syndicate, is just as careless. Courts will assess the evidence, and investigators must establish the alleged supply links rather than rely on questioning alone. The useful measure is how many cases produce convictions and identify suppliers, not just how many people are arrested.
